B) Types, purpose and operation of Cookies

In terms of their permanence, Cookies may be divided into Login session cookies or Permanent Cookies. The former expire when the User closes the browser. The latter expire once they have reached the goal for which they are created (e.g. so that the user remains identified in CitizenGO Services) or when it is manually deleted.

Additionally and depending on your goal, you can qualify Cookies as follows:

PERFORMANCE COOKIES: This type of Cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the Services, so that you do not have to re-configure the service every time you visit. Examples of what this type includes:

Video transmission speeds that are compatible with your browser.

GEOLOCATION COOKIES : These cookies are used to determine which country you are in when you request a service. This cookie is completely anonymous and it is only used to shape the content to your location.

REGISTRATION COOKIES : Registration Cookies are generated once the user is registered or subsequently opened its session, and are used to identify in the Services with the following objectives:

Keep the User identified so that, if he closes a Service, leaves the browser or switches off the computer, he will be automatically identified when he reenters the Service, facilitating the navigation without having to be re-identified. This function can be deleted if the User presses the feature "close session" to delete the Cookie . The next time he enters the Service the User must log in to get connected.

Check if the user is authorized to access certain Services. Additionally, some Services may use connectors with social networks such as Facebook or Twitter.

The User can delete this Cookie and revoke access to social networking services by updating his preferences for a specific social network.
